If you have been collecting Jung/Myers theory related
books as I have, you probably have read quite a few different type descriptions
by various authors. Have you ever listen to one? Otto and Janet produced
this set of audio tapes quite a while ago and the tapes still catch the
essence of each type.

Each tape is about twenty minutes in length. They
include an original song about the type written in a jazz style that is
sung at the beginning and the end of the tape. Then Otto and Janet discuss
the type, giving general information about the type and how the type is
as a family person and the careers they tend to follow.

At the last OAAPT 2000 Conference you could buy
individual tapes as well as the whole set of 16. In the promotional material
from Otto Kroeger Associates suggests that a manager, who is having some
difficulties between two employees, might propose that each employee take
the type tape of the other person and listen to it. Then the next day the
manager could discuss the problem with them. Having heard how the other
person reacts, often the problem is diminished to more manageable proportions.
This same technique could be used in couple counselling.

A counsellor who is administrating the MBTI®
instrument with individual clients could give the specific type tape to
the client. This could be included in the overall fee.

The tapes are interesting to listen to. You might
listen to the whole set one at a time on your daily commute to work.
